----- Forwarded message from Thorsten Hansen ----- I have just uploaded version 1.3 of multibib. -- uploaded file: multibib-v1.3.tar.gz -- uploaded to CTAN node: dante.ctan.org (ftp.dante.de) -- recommended place: /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/multibib -- licensing condition: lppl -- brief summary: The `multibib' package allows to create references to multiple bibliographies within one document.
